Our thoughts are powerful. In our minds we can do anything. Making our dreams reality requires the power of believing they can happen. So many people see the glass half empty, but there's no hope in a pessimistic attitude. Life is all about possibility. I've always wanted to start a blog and I've wasted a lot of time thinking about it. But now, I've finally put my thoughts into action, simply, because I can ...

You are amazing!

You are amazing. Oh yes, you are. You are made with organs that do
awe-inspiring things.

Take your heart as an example. When you think about your heart, do you ever
consider that it is more than just a muscle pumping blood and maintaining
circulation? Many people believe that the heart beats because the brain
controls it. That’s not true. In an unborn fetus, the heart starts to beat
before the brain has been formed.

Your heart has its own independent nervous system and is well supplied with
sensory nerve endings. It’s nervous system contains around 40,000 neurons,
called sensory neuritis. It is also intricately connected to the brain by the
nervous system.

Your heart has its own intrinsic nervous system that operates and processes
information independently of the brain or nervous system.

It communicates this information in four ways:

neurologically
(transmissions of nerve impulses);

biochemically (hormones and
neurotransmitters);

biophysically (pressure
waves); and

energetically
(electromagnetic field interactions).

This communication system shows that your heart has a very important
influence on the function of your brain. Your heart communicates with your
brain in ways that significantly affect how you perceive and react to the
world.

Your heart sends emotional and intuitive signals to your brain. It is an
intelligent force behind your intuitive thoughts and feelings. It helps your
brain to arrive at conclusions. All your emotional and motivating capacities
are built within it. This simply means that all the emotions that motivate you
originate from the heart.

Your mind gathers information, thinks on it and processes it through
reason and logic. It then reaches conclusions. Knowledge, wisdom and
understanding are achieved. Your mind then feeds your heart with this
information, received either from a present moment or from memory.

Although your heart and mind are separate and distinct, they work
together closely. Your mind feeds your heart because in reality you see, hear,
feel, and receive the effects of your physical senses through the use of your
brain. Your heart again, feeds your mind. It has the ability to move or
motivate your mind.

From a very young age your mind exercises a strong influence on your
heart. Your mind is like a sponge. It is constantly absorbing information. It
also acknowledges all the things that influence you, whether it's at home, at
school/work or in your neighbourhood. Conclusions and impressions are made.
These experiences are communicated with the heart. Good conclusions and
impressions will have a positive effect. Bad ones will have a negative effect.
Your desires and motivation are then either good or bad. Good or bad traits
take root in the heart and are reflected in your personality.

The questions you have to ask yourself are:

Is your heart motivating you
in the right direction?

Are good traits being
reflected in your personality?

If there are bad traits, you have the amazing power to renew and
strengthen your mind and your heart. Everyone is always talking about paradigm
shift, changing your way of thinking. It's also important to change your
heart by paying attention to what you think and feel. You have the
physical, mental and emotional power to change. You alone can determine the
quality of your life. Positive thoughts and feelings add energy to your system,
while negative thoughts and feelings will only exhaust you.

The power of motivation lies within reach. You need to feed your mind with
positive information so that it communicates this through to your heart. Your
heart will respond gradually as you impress good things upon it.

Learn to do everything
slower. Breathe more often. This will help to alleviate stress. Stress has
an effect on the rhythm of your heart. If you learn to do things slower
and remain focused, you will end up being more productive.

Plan your day and stick to
your plan. Do everything you can to eliminate distractions and really
focus on what you have to do. You will be amazed how much more productive
you can be. Less is more. You have the power to control your daily
routine. Make sure that you don’t do more than that which is
required.

Find time to be still. When
you are quiet and on your own, it will not only calm your mind, but it
will also calm your heart. When you start to relax, and your mind is
clear, your heart will send impressions and ideas to your brain and you
will find solutions for many problems. You will be more intuitive.

Do you
now see why you are so amazing? Enjoy who you are and live with the purpose of
perceiving your world with a healthy heart and mind. Only you can make the
difference. The difference not only affects you, but everyone in your life.

About Me

I am a high school teacher. I teach English as a first and second language in a small town in Limpopo, South Africa. I am married and have two children. I've written four books.
1) Pop-In Jay Pomp (children)
2) Mareijke's Courage (adventure romance)
3) The 6th Commandment: Thou Shalt Not Kill (murder mystery)
4) The Power is Yours (teen motivation).
My motto in life is: You are what you constantly think. I live by these words. The thoughts in a person's mind are powerful: they can create, motivate, encourage, disillusion and destroy. The art of thinking lies in the power of a positive attitude. This is the true weapon to success.
